Tile repair at your home in Higher Walton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

When to call us in Higher Walton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Higher Walton

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
